outlook: some questions
what does one strive for really? to sort & unravel the deep mysteries of the universe & beyond, or does one exist to better one’s existence?-& of the ones that are near & dear to you.
or better the future?-this moment has already gone past.
or does one strive to prove one’s mettle? to prove a superiority over another? or does one strive to raise the income bracket one is in? does the steel mittal strive to earn more millions or to form some sort of a philosophy to his acquisition turnarounds? is it only the creation of wealth that one lives for? or is it to have more power?
is hatred, revenge at the core of one’s existence? is it just one of the thirsts, wants, needs, the reason to survive?
or is it to be better than the neighbor, better than the classmate, the colleague in office, the cousin who is abroad, the steps to success someone has set & defined?
to each his own answer.
all the essential querries of life are simple, but the answers complex & varied, shrouded in theory, isms, & interrelated with the sciences.
the answers are no longer robert bachish-simple & egalitarian, nor even freudishly justified & precisely defined. all have the grey blurred edges to them.
